3. “Thaiwiese” (Preußenpark), Wilmersdorf

This one goes out to all the Thai Food Lovers around the city! This street food market actually started around 20 years ago with the gathering of thailandese families living in Berlin, who met in the park on weekends and cooked for each other. Today the “Thaiwiese” is the biggest asian street food park in Germany, even though it is a rather informal affair… During summer time the market welcomes you on weekends with the most original Thai dishes of the city and an extraordinary experience.

The Armeniusmarkthalle first opened its doors in 1891, was fully restored in 2010 and now hosts a local food hall in the district of Moabit. This one is still a “insider tip”, since it has not been flooded by food tourists like many other places in Berlin. It is both; a fresh food market & street food market. There is a range of different food booths spread around the big hall with high seilings. This is a must-try in Berlin with some seriously delicious treats!

Where? Arminiusstraße 2-4, 10551 Berlin

When? Monday- Saturday from 8am-10pm

Insider! Try the Alabama-style ribs at Pignut BBQ.
